We have had 11 straight days of rain until today. Yes, it is sunny here now but many people are suffering from allergies - I went out and my car was covered with yellow pollen. Ain't it amazing that just a decade ago the environdementalists were telling us we were entering a new Ice Age? The best view is that people have little to do with global warming and can do little to prevent it - remember it's all cyclical and Greenland was green when the Vikings settled there about 800 years ago. What concerns me are the ticks and Lyme disease. The conditions have been ideal for the buggers and the deer are more common here than rats. I read that the deer population has never been so high. I wish the militia people would come here and slaughter these menaces. They strip everything ornamental and then run into your car.

Hi Christine, We have had rain once in the last 2 months, about .5 inch. Corpus Christi has had only .05 inch. Tonight they said it doesn't look like rain for at least 2 weeks. Del

<< After years of controversy, the idea that industrial pollutants are driving climate change appears to have won support from the bulk of the scientific community. For years, many scientists acknowledged that the climate has warmed over the last century, but hesitated to assign blame. Now, many are getting off the fence and blaming, in part, humans' reliance on fossil fuels, which, when burned, unleash carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere. >> I agree. It is time to make a long term commitment to electricity generated by nuclear power. During off -peak hours, the excess electricity that would normally be wasted would be used to charge clean electric vehicles. All of the technology is known and available right now. It is time to stop jerkin' around. Del
